Cruzeiro and Juventude will face each other this Wednesday (24), at 7 PM Brasília time, at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Cruzeiro is relying on its home advantage to seek a quick recovery and keep an eye on the G-4 of the competition. Juventude, in a great moment of competitiveness, intends to make life difficult for the favorite in the match.
Cruzeiro
Cruzeiro enters the field for the 19th round of the Brasileirão confident in its home dominance. The goal is to recover quickly in the competition and keep the G-4 in sight.
In the previous round, the team played competitively but ended up defeated by the strong Palmeiras away by 2-0. This was the third defeat in the last six games, all as visitors, highlighting the main difficulty of the team in the Brasileirão.
Juventude
Juventude begins its match valid for the 19th round of the Brasileirão remaining highly competitive, despite the challenges faced. Recently, the team underwent a coaching change and relinquished home advantage in two matches, playing in Brasília. Nevertheless, they have remained unbeaten in the last five matches.
However, they drew their last three duels, including the most recent one against São Paulo, 0-0, in Brasília. Scoring points is always important, but these draws have not allowed Juventude to open a comfortable lead over the Z-4, despite the competitiveness shown.
Juventude won its last match as a visitor, but that victory occurred in Rio Grande do Sul. Outside their state, Juventude has not won since March.
